SHORT MAT BOWLING
Are you interested in short mat bowling?
Short mat bowling is played indoors
The season runs from October to May
Regular bowls are used
The “rink” is 45 feet long.
Short mat bowling is played throughout the world and each year new clubs are being formed throughout Canada. In March, 22 players from clubs in Kingston, Cobourg, Toronto, Burlington and BC competed in the World Short Mat Bows Championships in Sweden.
Are you still interested?
Plans are now being made to establish an Ottawa short mat bowls club with play beginning in September/October 2018. But before anything can happen we need your help. We need to know:
- How many people are interested and
- Who is willing to get involved in the organization of the club*.
(*proper organization and incorporation of a club will take at least 3 months to arrange.)
Are you still interested?
Please email me at w.harding@rogers.com
